Let's Get Harry (1986)

Harry, an American engineer working in Colombia, is kidnapped along with the American ambassador by a drug dealer who demands the release of a partner of his who is a prisoner of the Americans. When the American government refuses to comply with the kidnapper's demand, Harry's brother assembles a team of friends and hires a mercenary to lead them and all fly to Colombia to rescue Harry.

Unremarkable and slightly comical adventure which reportedly underwent severe cuts made by the producer(s) and as a result lacks all the parts where the rescue team is trained and also where a bit of character development is done. I have a serious plot understanding problem: I could swear that, at one point, Harry and the ambassador were moved somewhere else (we see them leaving on a boat); nevertheless, when the rescuers get to the drug dealer's lair Harry and the ambassador are still there.
